Rev. DIR. LaIison from the committee
on racoIutiona ranOrte cd az follows.

This convention desires to express its convic-
ton that the Sunday schools should keep clearly
before them the duty OF so teaching and using
the word of God as, 1St, to lead their members to
Jesus Christ and secondly, to secure their growth
in Christian character
1t desires to express it's emphatic approval of
all efforts made by the churches to receviYe the
instruction of the young i'll temperance and every
virtue.
1t desires to express its thanks to the officers
of the convention, President Lord and Secretary
Deering and the Executive Committee, to whose
efforts so much of the interest and usefulness of
our assembly is due. 1t wishes to make special
mention of the careful and abundant work of the
Statistical and Recording Secretary, Rev. j. H.
Babbitt to whom the Sunday schools of the
state give their thanks and acknowledge their
obligation.
1t desires also to express its hearty thanks to
the churches in whose houses of worship it has
assembled, to the friends in West Randolph for
their kind hospitality and to all those whose SER
vices during the convention have made our gath
eringS rich in the promise OF good fruits.
At9o'clock Rev. J. l.. Sewell of Mil
ton gave a report of statistical work in
Chittenden county showing by charts
the number of schools and scholars in
that county. Mr.. Sewell has given much
time and attention to this subject and
his report and talk on it was of much
interest. Following Rev. c. S. Perkins
of Lyndon gave an address on Hearing
and Teaching" and Rev. r. Morgan
read paper on The Master Use of the
w O1u. DOGll "ClC llSl6l6u
to.
AT the afternoon session, which opened
with promise meeting, led by Prof.
Sherwin. William Reynolds addressed
the convention ON the Importance of
thorough organization throughout the
State, urging the association to secure
some suitable person to give his entire
time for six months or a year in organ
izing schools and gathering statistical
information.
With few parting words ably given
by Rev. V. NJ. Hardy of West Randolph,
in which he thanked the convention for
meeting at that place, and expressing the
hope that great good might be the result
therefrom, the convention closed its 10Th
annual gathering with singing Blest
be the Tie that Binds"
noticeable feature of the convention
was the large attendance of business
men from various parts of the State. 1t
was a successful gathering and the en-
tire programme was full of intele est.
For the success of the affair much credit
is due to President Lord and his able
executive committee. and we opine their
successors will find it no easy matter to
make the next convention equal in all
respects to the one lust closed:

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONs.-The
elections in the several states this fall
will have most important bearing upon
the national election of 1888. The vote
of the great parties, one OF which must
succeed. will be watched with unusual
interest for comparative loss and gains.
The next votes of interest to the public
will be those cast by the labor movement
and the ProhibitionistS in the doubtful
states. 1t does not appear from the
present indications that either the third
party or the George movement are hay-
ing much of a boom. The coming
elections lack the exciting influences in
several states which center upon the
choice of a full list of state officers.
There is nothing directly bearing upon
national issues in the vote, yet the re-
turns will be studied with great care to
cipher out the relative strength of the
principal contestants. On the Novem-
Der verdict will largely hang the fate OF
the nominations. A decided victory fol
the Republicans in New York will jeop-
ardize the nomination for the second
time of Mr. Cleveland, and may put the
Republican nomination in the hands OF
the New York delegation to the Repub-
lican national convention. Therefore
allseyes are on New York again.

The recent report of the Central
Vermont railroad shows that all debts
against the property which has been
in the hands of receivers and trustees
for 20 years, have been Cancelled

ditures growing out of the Hartford
disaster because of pending suits, as
the directors say the Central Vermont
does not admit of any liability on ac-
count of the accident.

kerchief and hung himself to tree
When taken down he was black IL

cause.

Breeders Association are we'll salts

Notwithstanding the bad weather, was
fairly successful financially, while the
exhibit was large and will doubtless
benefit every progressive breeder in
New England. OF the many different
families of the trotting horse shown,
the Hambletonians were well and
truly represented, and are, indeed,
great family. The Morgan family
was also well represented. Those
who went to see and learn were favor
ably struck with Ben Franklin and
his following. For many years horse
men had heard of ''the little Vermont
Morgan" but here was magnificent
black chestnut stallion, 16 hands high,
and weighing 100 pounds, and which
for style, beauty, speed and action
was the peer of any stallion shown.
His stock on exhibition consisted of

NOTES.

An enthusiastic Memphis citizen
who shook hands with the President,
declares that he will never wash his
hands again.
The winter tide of Eastern tourists
is already felt in California. The
Southern towns are said to be crowded
with strangers.
Natural gas has been discovered at
Ration, New Mexico, which is an i'm
portant station on the line of the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.
Extensive coal fields exist there.
But one person in Rockdale county,
Ga, is permitted to sell liquor. He
is appointed by the Grand Jury, can
sell for medicinal purposes only and
cannot keep on hand more than teD
gallons of spirits.
Western ticket agents report that
business for the months of August
and September was better than for
the corresponding months for the past
few years. This does not indicate
that the tide of emigration from Yer
AOu6 ILah CGOIOISa dS
the proportion of those visiting the
West for pleasure or business is much
greater than it has been.
A gourd four feet and five inches in
length, probably the largest one ever
grown in Georgia, was taken to the
Office of the Dawson Journal a few
days ago. The gourd is said to be as
palatable as the squash, when young,
and when wanted for cooking about
foot is cut off and the remainder al
lowed to remain on the vine. 1t will
heal up and grow again as vigorously
as ever.
Weehawken, N. j., is bound not to
be pauperized by foreign immigra-
ton. Three Chinese were preparing
to start laundry in the town when
the native washermomen formally pro-
tested and vowed they would mob the
''haythens" if they were allowed to
start in business. Accordingly the
town council hired the Chinese to
leave the town by paying them the
amount of their months rent. SINH
lar measures will be adopted to get
rid of any Italians who may settle in
Weehawken.
A series of about rs burglaries in
the region of the Highlands, Boston,
has been traced to a band of boys
ranging from 13 to II years of age,
nearly all of whom are under arrest.
They had club room, whose library |
contained such works as ''Deadwood |
Dicks Devices" and Corporal Can
non, the Man of Forty Duels." If
the truth was known, most likely
many, perhaps all, of these youthful
burglars were inspired to plunge into
criminal ways by the reading of such
literature. Some stands are weighed
down by books calculated to make
boys malefactors. II
